Ok, I am a true noob. I have bricked my gTab while trying to install VeganTab. Whenever I reboot it goes straight into clockwordmod. I am running clockwork mod v3.0.2.8. I have followed every thread I have seen to install VeganTab but everytime I do it the tablet shows "installation aborted".

Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? If it helps, I have VeganTab in unzipped and zipped formats, a 16gb external SD card and I am using a macbook pro..
[G Tablet General] bossmaxima:
I must have really messed up now... All I see on the screen is a circle with a tophat on it. None of the buttons are responsive either... :(
[G Tablet General] bossmaxima:
Sorry to keep bumping this thread but... I used NVFlash to get the stock TnT back but now I have a new problem.. CWM is still installed and no matter what rom I try to load I keep getting errors. I have tried putting the zip file on the internal sd as well as the unzipped files as well. So far I have tried VeganTab Ginger (my #1 choice) and Cyanogen..

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When I have run into similar problems with newly flashed ROMs, I have generally found that re-partitioning the sdcard with 2048/0 (and then re-installing the ROM) clears everything up.

[G Tablet General] bossmaxima:
I just repartitioned and I am still getting an installation aborted error. I get an "E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted" error still. I tried to download two different types of VeganTab and I even renamed the .zip file update.zip. I just bought this brand new from Woot today so there is no previous work done to this. And I am currently running CWM 3.0.2.8 if that helps..
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
What bootloader are you on? you need to make sure that you're using the CWM for your bootloader, and flashing the version of the rom you want for you bootloader.

chances are, you have bootloader 1.2 if it's a new Woot purchase. Visit the "Gtablet for dummies" website and read as much as you can before proceeding.
[G Tablet General] bossmaxima:
I am running bootloader 1.2. Im pretty sure I installed the correct CWM but what is the way to truly tell? I have been all over XDA and gTab for Dummies but I cannot find this exact situation. Even after NVFlash, my CWM was still completely intact..

Im really frustrated because I have been so excited and reading these threads for almost a month now and I still cannot get mine to work :(
[G Tablet General] aabbondanza:
OK, first thing is calm down. I know it's frustrating but you will get through it.

I know you have been to gTablet for Dummies http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/, but go back & start @ Code Red...you said it yourself that you are bricked & that is the prerequiste for Code Red. Do the instructions step by step & download all your things from the links provided.

If you still have a problem, post on the gTablet for Dummies Forum and you will be helped (most likely by 'goodintention').
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
repeating for emphasis...STEP BY STEP...do not skip anything. I've done this procedure more than 5 times and each time, when following the instructions, I've never had a problem...
[G Tablet General] bossmaxima:
So I figured out my simple mistake... When I was using NVFlash I was using the one for 1.2+CWM. When I used NVFlash for 1.1+CWM I got the old CWM (green) and loaded the Vegan Tab Ginger Edition zip file it installed and worked perfectly.

Thanks everyone!
[G Tablet General] aabbondanza:
OK, missed the part about a Macbook Pro...sorry. When you are doing the NVFlash, their are instructions on the Dummies site in the How To menu on how to use NVFlash from your MAC.
[G Tablet General] bossmaxima:
Yea i ended up using my girlfriends laptop with windows vista to run nvflash. Its running fine now but i dont have sound and the overall experience feels like an overgrown version of my vibrant..

How to update HC Alpha from 6.0 to 7.1?

Hello. I am currently on Alpha HC 6.0 and would like to update to 7.1 that just came out. Do I need to back up 6.0 using CWM and then install update.zip to go to 7.1? Or do I have to nvflash back to original and then do wipe/cache/dalvik and then install 7.1?

I am not sure if going from 6.0 to 7.1 requires to wipe/cache/dalvik everytime or just run the new update.zip and reboot w/o doing wipes/dalvik?

Wonder if these steps need to be done again after updating to 7.1 from 6.0?

After backup is done, go back out to root menu.

Choose "wipe data/factory reset".

Choose "wipe cache partition".

Once it's done, go back out to root menu and choose "advanced".

Choose "Wipe Dalvik Cache".

Go back out and choose "install zip from sdcard".

Just want to be sure before doing the update. Thanks in advance.

I've seen variations of these question starting to pop up rather frequently:

I (think) the answer to both is probably a yes.

Help needed in direction to take

Help Need, I am, lost!

Ok, first things first, I am now on version 1.2.4349 of what I am not sure. I think ir is a factory ROM.

I restored from a bricked device, using nvflash and the update Rom 1.2.4349. Since I have been trying to install Clockmod. I can't get it to work.

Everytime I boot per instructions here, nothing happens...either it freezes on the first screen with the birds, showing update kernal found.. or it starts the update then freezes. I have tried internal boot file and external boot file... even tried clockmod v8. with same results.

There are some many post about rooting this device and do's and don'ts that now I have become confused.

Can someone please point me in the right direction. I want full market access, and a workable rook. Where do I need to start?

clockworkmod not installing

G TAB TAP 1.2-5699, Kernel 2.6.32.9 , build FRF91, Model UPC300-2.2

I was trying to install ClockWorkMOD v.8 on my G Tab, everything is working up to the point of holding the power plus the Vol+ button to get into the recovery.

In the top left corner, it says " Recover Key Detected" and under it it says "Booting Recovery Kernel Image"

This appears on the Viewsonic splash screen ( 3 birds).. this is where it stays..now the tablet will launch nornaly and I can use it, but the ClockWork never installs.

Can someone give me some details on how and why I am having this problem and what I can do to continue with the install of Clockwork?

Also, I am going to install the G Harmony JellyBean OverClock ROM, if I can get that far.

Thank you for all your help
[G Tablet General] rajeevvp:
You've installed the wrong version of CWM (v.8) for your bootloader version (1.2).

To install, G-Harmony JB, just follow the steps listed in the 1st post of its thread:

1. Expand the size of the /system partition (after putting the tablet into APX mode) by running the batch file in the TeamDRH_350MB_Prep.zip file. (This step will also install the correct version of CWM for your bootloader.)

2. Boot into CWM (5.5.0.4Beta15).

3. Repartition the internal SD card.

4. Format /cache.

5. Transfer and install the G-Harmony ROM zip file.

[General Questions and Answers] ahatter:
I have noticed a lot of battery usage lately, is there a reliable task killer out there that's not going to take up extra RAM and actually help improve battery life? Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
A taskkiller won't really help, inactive tasks in the background consume no extra battery that you would notice until they are called into foreground again.

Services running in the background would drain battery, but using a taskkiller on that would just use EXTRA battery.

The task killer would do its job using a service (that service drains battery too) to kill the other services in the background, that would anyways just get restarted after a while just to probably be killed again.

You should go into settings/applications and see what services are actually running and determine if you really need those and if not uninstall the app where they originate from.

Your empty title with no information whatsoever does not help people trying to help you. Use thread titles that actually summarize your problem.
[General Questions and Answers] cdavis9761:
To further the previous, stop any apps you can permanently, delete them or if not able to delete, look at rooting phone to rid it of carrier and manufacturer apps.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
I'm trying to figure out if some of the instability/sluggishness I'm having is related to widgets I'm using.

As I noted in another thread the Google Reader widget (wide one with scrolling stories) was the culprit behind a great deal of instability. As soon as I removed that thing the XOOM was smoother and more stable.

I'm still having some issues however and was curious if you could post what widgets you are using and if you've encountered any issues with your XOOM (reboots, restarts, crashes, slowness)?

This way I can hopefully get a sense of what is safe. Right now to me it appears anything that's not designed for Honeycomb (widgetwise) could cause a problem so for now I'm using only Honeycomb widgets.

I use 2 GMail widgets (1 for each of my GMail accounts), the calendar widget, and the Speedtest.net widget set for cellular data.

SONY ERICCSON HAS SAID THEY ARE GOING TO START ROLL UP UPDATES FOR THE X10 BUT NO MENTION OF OTHER RELEASE XPERIA PRODUCTS. THIS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED BY OWNERS POSTING COMMENTS ON THE SONY ERICCSON FORUMS

http://talk.sonyericsson.com/commun...sionid=9C035449AFE913DDBAFBC51904921490.node0

go on here and write about your disappointment

the x10 2.3.3 is a good start as devs can develop a rom for our x8 but we want a better x8 original. just go on that link and complain about how frustrated you are!

[XPERIA X8 General] Aiduharan:
X8

The X8 is a fantastic handset and with its 600 processor it can definitely have the 2.3.3 android software

I'am actually looking at the work xda devs do on products before buying them, like seriously I don't even care about company support anymore. They all stop at some point.
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
Yes but if se release 2.2 or 2.3 this will help devs to make their roms even better, faster.

I was realy disapointed when I buy my phone(it is my first android, and i was an idiot in the android world) when i watch it on gsmarena.com I fell in love with the phone :D When I started to get to know about android and when I read no 2.2 update, i was realy disapionted...I'd like to buy me an HTC device, that fully works everything (even the MIUI rom) I'm just using CMmini 2.2, and it's a realy good rom, but the interface (I love the stock launcher from Eclair)

Just wait that someone form the developers make MIUI rom compatiable on mdpi devices(like ours x8) :D

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefoxhole:
Is the best reason to get the thunderbolt the unlimited 4g plans? So we get grandfathered in before tiered plans start rolling out?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinien:
That is one of the many reasons. Here are the others for me:

-Wanted to leave at&t for a more reliable 3G network.

-Wanted the fastest 4G network (and it's also the only 4G network where I live).

-Wanted to go to the carrier with the best record of providing Android updates.

-Wanted to get a phone with a manufacturer who has the best record of providing Android updates.

-Wanted at least a 4" screen.

-The rest of the hardware in the phone is awesome (CPU, RAM, etc.)

-Kickstand is awesome.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorijuan1024:
yes it is also better than the other phones out right now. i have it now but i also want to see the bionic when it comes out and if i like it i will sell it and get the bionic considering i don't care about a locked boot loader even though i don't know what it is
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eallan:
I have an atrix and now a thunderbolt. I miss the screen and the fingerprint reader and the hardware speed when using the bolt. Screw motorola too for their policies.

Lte is absolutely freaking nuts fast though. The unlimited was a huge deciding factor for me. Plus i miss htc from the nexus one. Though their new policies are worrisome.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidDont:
While we've seen examples of this in the past, I'm still waiting for someone to point me to the language in the contract with guarantees that current 4G pricing will continue once either a customer's current contract is up or a change clause in the contract is triggered.

Given all the hoopla from the Verizon CFO about additional revenue through tiered data, I'm doubtful of the "grandfathering" claims.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Russ36363:
There are no guarantees at all past the current contract. However, we are given it through at least our contract, or if not, we'd be able to break contract with no ETF, by having them charge us more.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorijuan1024:
what he said if they change your policy pricing you can leave without a ETF
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidDont:
Agreed; I'm just cautious of the claims by some that getting a Thunderbolt on contract now with $29.99 unlimited LTE data definitively means that the same data pricing will continue once the current contract expires.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxRacR17:
I think that as long as you don't alter your plan at all after the new data plans go into effect you will be fine. Of course I think that means that you couldn't upgrade your phone after two years unless you buy the phone at full price that way they don't make you sign a new contract with the new data policies.
[LG Optimus 2x] mesajoejoe:
I am super excited about Paul getting cwm, custom kernel, and custom rom on the Optimus 2x. This will open surely make this phone more enticing. Question I have is this: Will there be 2 sections or 1? Since the Tmo version will be running vanilla this will kinda be like the SGS vs SGS US models scenario and porting issues different kernels and what not. Your thoughts?
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
I guess there won't be this kind of problem - there is no big difference between P990 and p999 technically, so ROM's will be compatible, I guess the baseband will be only a problem, but it's flashed separately.

P999 on P990?

I've got the P990 O2x (purchased in the Caribbean - LG Branding)- and I'm using it on T-Mo USA - but my phone is stuck on EDGE - and I'm not sure why?... Also, can't send MMS....

Has anybody flashed the P999 rom to a P990?

I'm just wondering what it will take to get T-Mobile 3/4G playing nicely with the P990 (O2x)?

For anyone who's curious I'm running:

Android Version 2.2.2

Baseband Version = 1035.21_20110218

Kernel Version = 2.6.32.9-dirty

Build Number = FRG83G

[HD2 Android NAND Development] AngelDeath:
This is the primary reason why I posted this here, as so that the Dev's see it, as we know some dev dont even look in the Q&A and this obviously isnt a Q&A, so I figured any Dev can look at this and check the kernel source they use and see if this file exists in there kernel, because this is from my searching the key to the gps and the agps.

Also as I said that I had a rom that had agps support, I am posting my Alpha script I was working on along with the drivers from the "Brother" om, which has the agps drivers, again, maybe this will help any of the dev's since I dont know how to compile kernels, or how to run the scripts for the results.

All I ask is that credit be given where credit is due. I ask for nothing more.

Alpha Script Attached Below and the gps.h file is included, again anything I can answer I will.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] AngelDeath:
memin1857,

I tried this already about the GPS Status and seeing if it actually downloads the agps file, but using a logcat, it never states anything regarding anything its doing other then outputting tcp connections, so this is where I had trouble trying to find exactly what its doing, but apparently its not Logcat friendly to layout its procedure.

In my alpha script that I setup up, along with the agps drivers that i pulled from the 'brother' rom, there was an xtra.bin file in that rom, now from my reading and searches, this xtra.bin file is suppose to be downloaded into the root/data folder, after this point where that files goes I dont know, again some say this file gets loaded into the GPS chip, this I have a hard time accepting especially since I have the xtra.bin file from the rom, but as far as I know anything in the root/data folder gets re-written at a reboot, and if it doesnt, none of the kernels at this point when referencing the gps doesnt point to the file except the gps.conf file which we all know I altered.

There are more commands in the alpha script for the GPS and AGPS, which I tried to impliment into the my current script, but obviously without referencing these lines or files, they are not doing the job they should.

Hopefully some dev's will chime in to this thread and give at least some insight.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] AngelDeath:
And since most HD2's are based off the desire HD, and the att inspire 4g supposedly being a desire, it has the same issue. I have a completely stock att Inspire 4g, and I just tested this yesterday, and the exact same issue, wifi turned on (No Sim card installed) ran car panel and navigation, wifi picked up in 1 second, gps did not lock, which leads me to believe the desire has the same issue, I havent looked into the file system yet, but I am almost certain that when I do I wont be finding the agps.so files or anything related.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] AirforcProductions:
Inc S

I believe that there are a few devs who have RUU Inc-S and Desire S stock roms, maybe those roms have agps support?

QBANIN GPSfix

I have found this application which reset agps data and downloads a fresh xtra.bin and actually places it in /data then tries to relay the info to gps library.

http://podrozomania.info/~qba/modules/experimental/GPSfix-0.1.apk (also attached to this post below)

This application requires root access and whenever started quickly downloads xtra.bin and places it in /data and in about 30 seconds it says gps fixed in Android notification message. The app won't display any interface, you will just see data connection arrow light up a little, see xtra.bin come up in /data and gps fixed message in 30 seconds.

EDIT: The app is actually for SAMSUNG GALAXY SPICA I5700 only! But may help for hd2 agps implementation.

I am not yet sure if it works with hd2 android yet because after any lock, a relock within 4 hours is very fast even in non agps assisted hd2. So it will take a few days for me to make controlled tests. You test this app too please.

I wasn't able to find xtra.bin in file system with my samsung native android phone because from what I've searched and read that xtra.bin is actually directly inserted into gps library so with many phones we can't find in the file system.

BTW "default,supl" phrase without the quotes must exist in apn type in apn settings for agps to work. (so android knows which apn connection it should use to download agps data, if it can't find supl apn type it won't download at all, this would also happen if wifi is enabled)
